Aurratry 

® HOUGH a true illustration of the doctrine of 
heredity, George Washington was quite unaware 
of the achievements of his ancestors beyond his great¬ 
grandfather, John Washington, who with his 
brother Lawrence and sister Martha, came to Vir¬ 
ginia, in 1657 and settled at Bridges Creek (later 
called Wakefield) between the Potomac and Rappa¬ 
hannock Rivers on the very plantation where, later 
in 1732, George Washington was born. The name 
Washington has been traced back to the Sulgrave 
Washingtons and further to the de Wessyngton 
Family of 700 years ago, who had an estate in Pala¬ 
tine Durham. Many are the soldiers, churchmen, 
lawyers, and landowners, who have been active ac¬ 
cording to the annals of English history, through 
the seven generations from John Washington (1450) 
of Tewhitfield, County Lancashire to George Wash¬ 
ington on the Potomac. 

His maternal ancestry is traced back to Colonel 
William Ball, who emigrated to Virginia about 1650 
and settled in Lancaster County on a plantation called 
Millenbeck on the Rappahannock River. From his 
mother, Washington inherited his physical char¬ 
acteristics, firm will, blazing temper, and respect for 
authority and truth.

Early Cif? 

EORGE WASHINGTON was the oldest child 
of Augustine Washington and his second wife, 
Mary Ball. According to an entry in the old family 
Bible now at Mt. Vernon, “George Washington, Son 
to Augustine and Mary, his Wife, was Born ye 11th 
Day of February 173^4 [O. S.] about 10 in the 
Morning and was Baptized the [15th, figure indis¬ 
tinct] of April following. Mr. Beverley Whiting and 
Capt. Christopher Brooks, Godfathers, and Mrs. 
Mildred Gregory, Godmother." 

Washington was born at Bridges Creek (Wake¬ 
field) the home where Capt. Augustine Washington 
took his young bride immediately after their marriage 
on March 6, 1730. This commodious and com¬ 
fortable homestead, where three generations of the 
Washington family had made their home prior to 
Washington's birth, was situated in Westmoreland 
County on the point of a triangle formed by two 
creeks and the Potomac River. This house burned 
on Christmas Eve, 1780. It now is being reproduced 
on the same spot where the old one stood. Like its 
prototype the house will be constructed of hand-made 
bricks of clay taken from the identical field from 
which the original material came and made according 
to the original process by a primitive brick making 
plant operated by negro workmen in the ancient way.

Stye frontier-3%ljtrr 

/jTOMMENCING with his experience as a surveyor, 
Vi' George Washington learned to direct projects, 
command men, and acquaint himself with the habits 
and feelings of the frontier settlers and Indians. Al¬ 
though not 20 years old this training made him the 
best-informed Virginian for the task of protecting 
the frontier against the French and Indians, who were 
advancing in the Ohio Valley. 

In 1753, he was sent several hundred miles on 
the Allegheny River by Governor Dinwiddie to warn 
the French commander to advance no further. It 
was a perilous task but successfully accomplished. 
His journal of this trip was so masterful that it was 
published and distributed as an important documeni 
throughout the colonies and England. 

In 1754 he served as lieutenant colonel in 
defense of the colony. On July 9, 1755 as aid-de- 
camp he saved the remnant of Braddock's defeated 
army. In August, 1755, he was appointed com- 
mander-in-chief of the Colonial Forces of Virginia 
defending 750 miles of frontier with less than 1000 
men. In November, 1758, Washington participated 
in a successful expedition against Ft. Duquesne which 
ended his military service in the French and Indian 
"War;

/|j*N JANUARY 6, 1759, Washington married 
W Martha Dandridge Custis, widow of Daniel 
Parke Custis, at White House, her residence in New 
Kent County, Virginia. The Widow Custis pos¬ 
sessed two children, John (“Jackey") Parke Custis 
and Martha (“Patsy") Parke Custis and property 
worth more than $100,000 which passed to Wash¬ 
ington under the then existing law. 

General and Mrs. Washington spent forty years 
of married life together and these were marked by 
great tenderness and devotion on both sides. 

To the Custis children, Washington was a true 
and affectionate father and a careful and conscientious 
guardian. He tripled their fortune for them. De¬ 
spite their delicacy and the care and attention lavished 
upon them, neither lived many years. Patsy died at 
16 from epilepsy (leaving her entire estate to Wash¬ 
ington) and Jackey died at Yorktown from camp 
fever. He left a wife, Nellie Calvert Custis, and four 
children, the two youngest of whom Washington 
adopted. With no children of his own, Washington 
brought up nine children connected with his or his 
wife's family which shows that “God left him child¬ 
less, that he might be a father to his country and a 
fond parent and guardian to the children of others."

W ASHINGTON the Soldier and Washington the 
Statesman have overshadowed Washington the 
Farmer. By nature, however, he was first, last and al¬ 
ways a farmer. Toward the end of his life he wrote: 
—“. . . how much mote delightful ... is the task of 
making improvements on the earth than all the vain 
glory which can be acquired from ravaging it. . . 

Washington's deepest interest was centered in 
the five farms that made up the 8,000 acres at Mount 
Vernon. Among his crops were tobacco, Indian 
corn, wheat, flax, hay, clover, turnips, potatoes. 
Horses, mules, cattle and sheep were raised. Among 
the 300 hired laborers, indentured servants and 
negroes were found weavers, carpenters, masons, 
bricklayers, a shoemaker, a blacksmith, a wood- 
burner, flower gardeners, kitchen gardeners, painters, 
millwrights There were fisheries, a distillery, an ice 
house, a cider mill and a threshing machine. Flour, 
salted shad and herring were sent from Mt. Vernon 
to the West Indies in large quantities. Washington 
also maintained a ferry across the Potomac which was 
not only a convenience but a source of profit.

/jlTEORGE WASHINGTON was much more than 
Vt* the Commander in Chief. He was the one 
necessary person, whose determined sense of duty to 
country and ability kept the Revolution from col¬ 
lapsing during the eight years of war. Without 
General Washington at its head the American Revolu¬ 
tion could not have been won. His faith in the cause 
and his devotion to the ideals involved made him the 
symbol of America. 

Washington was elected Commander in Chief 
on June 15, 1775. From his place in Congress he 
accepted on the following day with this brief speech: 
—'7 beg they will accept my cordial thanks foe 
this distinguished testimony of their approbation. 
But lest some unlucky event should happen, unfavor¬ 
able to my reputation, I beg it may be remembered 
by every gentleman in the room that I this day declare 
with the utmost sincerity I do not think myself equal 
to the command I am honored with. As to pay. 
Sir, I beg leave to assure the Congress that as no 
pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to 
accept this arduous employment at the expense of my 
domestic ease and happiness, I do not wish to make 
any profit from it. I will keep an exact account of 
my expenses. Those I doubt not they will dis¬ 
charge, and that is all I desire.”

A T THE age of 17 Washington was appointed 
official surveyor of Culpepper County, Va. At 
20 he was adjutant of a military district. He served 
as vestryman in the parishes of Truro and Fairfax. 
For fifteen years Washington was a member of the 
House of Burgesses. He usually gave a ball to the 
voters on the night he was chosen. His first duty as 
a burgess was to assist in drafting a law to prevent 
hogs from running at large in Winchester. 

Washington was not a speechmaker. Rising in 
the assembly to acknowledge thanks tendered him for 
his military services Washington was so inarticulate 
that the Speaker said: “Sit down Mr. Washington, 
your modesty equals your valor and that surpasses the 
power of any language that I possess." 

Washington was a delegate to the first Con¬ 
tinental Congress. Patrick Henry said: “For solid 
information and sound judgment, Colonel Washing¬ 
ton is unquestionably the greatest man on the floor." 
While a delegate to the Second Continental Congress 
Washington was unanimously chosen commander in 
chief of the American forces. To every civic duty 
Washington gave careful attention, even to riding 
10 miles to the polling town to cast his vote because 
he considered this his duty.

Jjt|jASHINGTON was inaugurated the first presi- 
dent of the United States on April 30, 1789, 
on the balcony of Federal Hall of Wall Street, New 
York City. 

The Constitution had been adopted in 1787 by 
the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia, over 
which he presided and steadied its actions. Nothing 
in his whole life gives stronger evidence of his char¬ 
acter and ability than the splendid judgment that he 
displayed in selecting the first cabinet of the U. S. 

Many were the precedents that this group gave 
to succeeding generations. Relations with foreign 
governments were established and a firm policy of 
neutrality was adopted; five departments of govern¬ 
ment were organized; the Whiskey Rebellion in Wes¬ 
tern Pennsylvania was put down, an act which 
established federal authority at home; the first tariff 
bill was passed July 4, 1789. 

The establishment and success of the new 
system of government in its infant years was due 
mainly to Washington's wisdom and skill. He de¬ 
clined a third term and ended his second on March 3, 
1797. He left national affairs in good order and 
returned to Mt. Vernon, having been his country’s 
great leader, in war and peace, for more than 20 years.

ASHINGTON was tall, erect, well propor¬ 
tioned, circumspect in dress, courtly in manner. 
He was an expert horseman. Washington was dis¬ 
tinctly social, enjoying receptions, teas, dinners and 
picnics. He was more at ease with women than with 
men. He was extremely punctual. The cook was 
never kept waiting more than five minutes even if 
dinner guests had not arrived. Fish, honey, and nuts 
were his favorite foods while salt cod fish was his 
favorite Sunday dinner. 

When a young man Washington’s favorite 
diversion was fox hunting. Next in interest came his 
fondness for dancing. Cards and billiards interested 
him and in later life the theater. Farming he termed 
“The most favorite amusement of my life.” 

Washington was a member of the Church of 
England and an active Mason. While not univer¬ 
sity trained he acquired education through reading. 
He was the recipient of honorary degrees from many 
colleges. He contributed to the education of many 
boys and his will made provision for schools, colleges 
and universities. Washington’s will also made be¬ 
quests to 41 of his and his wife's relatives and directed 
that “upon the decease of my wife it is my will and 
desire that all slaves which I hold shall receive their 
freedom.’’

S HE greatest tribute to George Washington is the 
beautiful Capital City on the Potomac. The 
first Congress convened in New York on April 6, 
1789. On July 6, 1790 the House passed an act 
“establishing the temporary and permanent seat of 
government in the United States." After 10 years 
in Philadelphia the government was to be transferred 
“to the Indian place with the long name, on the 
Potomac." Washington was empowered to select 
the exact site and to appoint three commissioners who 
were to survey the Ten Mile Square, provide build¬ 
ings for the Congress, the President and the public 
offices. To plan the Federal City Washington chose 
a young French officer who had served in the Revolu¬ 
tion, Major Pierre Charles L’ Enfant. 

Washington showed faith in the new venture 
by purchasing lots and by building a double house on 
North Capitol Street for the accommodation of Con¬ 
gressmen. He sacrificed western land to raise the 
necessary $16,000 but insisted upon such extrava¬ 
gancies as stone trimmings and dormer windows to 
make the building properly dignified. He expected 
to build a fine residence for his own home near the 
White House. Washington laid the corner stone of 
the Capitol on September 18, 1793. He also walked 
through the White House which was 
nearly completed before his death.

/jfINE THIRD of Washington’s life, and this at the 
VIi7 most productive period, was devoted to exact¬ 
ing public service, yet he left one of the largest estates 
of his day and a record of business achievements that 
showed financial acumen amounting to genius. 

Washington inherited the Englishman’s love of 
land and eventually acquired 63,000 acres of it. 
Much of this was bottom land on the Ohio, Ka¬ 
nawha and Little Miami rivers. In addition he had 
holdings in Maryland, Western Pennsylvania, New 
York, Kentucky and Virginia. 

Through his marriage Washington gained con¬ 
trol of a fortune which added greatly to his resources. 
When free to oversee the activities of his own planta¬ 
tions he probably averaged an annual profit of from 
10 to 15 thousand dollars annually. Washington held 
a considerable amount of bank stock in the Bank of 
England and the banks of Alexandria and Columbia. 

For 40 years Washington worked for the de¬ 
velopment of projects to promote the mutual interests 
of commerce between the sea coast towns and the 
sections beyond the mountains. In pursuance of this 
aim he bought lands, built roads, fought wars, plan¬ 
ned canals, organized various companies and encour¬ 
aged new settlements.

A FTER the busy and exacting presidential days, 
the Washingtons wearily but happily returned 
to their dear Mt. Vernon. It was not to a life of 
privacy however. Because of the possibility of war 
with France, he was appointed Commander-in-chief 
again in 1798, by President Adams, but attended to 
the duties of the position mostly by correspondence. 

Hospitality, now as in former years, was the 
dominating spirit of their home. He noted in his 
diary the day when visitors were not present and in 
a letter to a friend he wrote:— “A glass of wine and 
a bit of mutton are always ready, and such as will be 
content to partake of them are always welcome.** 

His last year was cheered by the marriage of his 
adopted grand-daughter, Nellie Custis, to his nephew 
Lawrence Lewis, and saddened by the deaths of his 
brother and sister. On receiving news of his brother’s 
death, he wrote to Colonel Ball:— f, I was the FIRST 
and am now the LAST of my fathers children by 
the second marriage, who remain. When I shall be 
called up to follow them is known only to the giver 
of life. When the summons comes, I shall endeavor 
to obey it with good grace .** He did—for on Dec¬ 
ember 14 a few hours before his death he said to Dr. 
Craik, “I am dying, Sir, but I am not afraid to die/*
